The unprecedented sale of BOschee' s
German Syrup within a few years,
has astonished the world. 1t is with
out doubt the safest and best remedy
ever discovered for tue speedy and
effectual cure OF Coughs, Colds and
the severest Lung Troubles. 1t acts
on an entirely different principle from
the usual prescription given by physi-
clans, as II does not dry up a Cough
and leave it in the system, but on the
contrary removes the cause of the
trouble, heals the parts affected and
leaves them in a purely healthy con.
dition. A bottle kept in the house Tor
nse when these diseases make their
appearance, will save doctor bills and
a long spell of serions illness. A trial
will convince You of these facts. 1t is
positively sold by all druggists and
general dealers in the land. Price rs
cents, large bottles.

organized which can bid defiance to
the tricks and schemes of monopoly,
and establish firmly the rights and
liberties of the American farmer, az
was intended by the trainers of the
Constitution.

THERE is an agent al Natchitoches
who is endeavoring to form a land
stock company of 100000 acres.
This land is to be divided into small
tracts TO snit purchasers, and has for
its basis a promised immigration of
Western fathers, who will come in
communities and purchase these lands
on easy terms. The plan is meeting
with encouragement, and will doubt
less become a reality. Already nearly
all the Cane river lands have been oc'
cnpied, and attention directed to the
cultivation of hay fields and raising
stock-cattle, horses and mules Hay
was sold there at $40 per ton in 1856,
proving remunerative and being
readily dis posed of.

IHE bill passed by the Senate,
granting pensions of $4,000 a year to
the widows of Generals Logan and
Blair, met with opposition 10 the
Pension Committee of the House.
The majority of the committee are
reluctant 10 cOntinue the policy Of
granting high pensions to the widows
of officers who did NOT die from 10.
juries incurred in the service. The
only precedence for such bills are ia
the cases of widows and families Of
Admiral Farragut, and Generals Han.
cock, Thomas and Grant. The ma.
jorlty Of the committee think il would
be inadsisable to follow these pre-.
cedents in view Of the fact that there
are nov about one hundred surviving
widows Of officers who would then be
entitled to pensions who are now ex.
cluded by the general law.
